PRIME PICK$
February 25, 2026 Volume 216 "NEW FLAME Edition"
Sparks Are Flying
The market lit back up just when everyone started whispering about burnout. After a bruising sell-off earlier this week, buyers showed up with conviction. Tech and AI names leading the charge, software stocks catching a bid, and risk assets ripping. A week ago they were writing the obituary, “Market’s tired, rally’s over” and then it caught fire again.
The thing is, you have to keep your eye on the prize out here. You can’t get comfortable. That breeds complacency. And that is a killer in trading and in life. Things go up or go down for a few weeks and you start to take those short term behaviors for longterm patterns. You know it has happened before, you say you will refocus, it lasts a little while, and then you get let down again. And most just accept it eventually to be honest. They “take the loss”. It becomes routine. Your mindset changes. And in the end, most of us out there end up settling for mediocrity mindset. The win some/lose some crowd. The lost their flame crowd.
But if you aren’t in that narrow focus short term mindset, you could have caught something unexpectedly great in the first half of the week by paying attention to what is right in front of you - THE CHARTS!! The market was burning out, but it was reignited in a big way today. And that new flame has some real energy behind it. I’m not saying we are out of the woods by any stretch, but we are looking at relative strength heading in to the end of the week.
Sometimes we have to jump through some hoops, have PATIENCE, and wait longer than we would like to get what we want. But we only get there by paying attention day in and day out. And then eventually… it happens. That one moment where it stops feeling like a maybe and starts feeling like exactly what you’ve been looking for this whole time. And once you see it? The whole approach changes.
No more waiting. No more frustration. No more hesitation. You finally have conviction to follow YOURSELF. Your plan. And that’s what PRIME is here for. Pay attention to the charts, take what you are given, and if the opportunity presents itself roll out for more or you can always re-enter on a retest of a prior entry/PT/trigger, etc. Let’s go light this thing up!

Price targets are not the same as option strikes.
Price targets are where I believe the chart can/will go.
The strikes I suggest are what I think provide the best risk/reward to make money.

GS
GS 0.00%↑ 4 hour consolidating wedge. I’ve said this before on this name, but you need to take profits when you see them or prepare for some quick moving price action. Closing at the trendline today above the 9/20/50 ema’s, we will watch for a breakout for calls and a rejection for puts.
